AD9446BSVZ-100

Analog To Digital Converters (ADC) Overview

The AD9446BSVZ-100 is a 16-bit, monolithic sampling analog-to-digital converter (ADC) with an on-chip track-and-hold circuit. It operates at a guaranteed maximum sampling rate of 100 MSPS and requires 3.3 V and 5.0 V power supplies. The device features buffered differential analog inputs with selectable full-scale ranges of 2.0 V p-p to 4.0 V p-p. Digital outputs are available in CMOS or LVDS formats, supporting offset binary or two's complement data modes. It includes an internal reference, clock duty cycle stabilizer, and out-of-range indicators.
